A Texas state trooper was relieved of his post at Texas A&M today after a bizarre altercation with a South Carolina player.
In the second quarter, Nyck Harbor scored an 80-yard touchdown and his momentum took him up a tunnel.
As the Gamecocks were celebrating the touchdown, a Texas trooper was walking up the tunnel and the trooper bumped into Harbor and another player.
The trooper then turned and appeared to yell at Harbor:
